Fishing From A Sailboat

The past couple weekends the summer flounder have been biting very well. We decided to sail on out to the channel and try our luck at a few of these good tasting flatties. We left and headed to the area that had the best write ups in the local fishing news. However, there were so many boats and large vessels moving around, I couldn't believe there would be good fishing with so much activity going on. We gave it a try for an hour or so and moved away from the congestion to a spot where we caught a bunch of fluke.


Once we got to an area that had less traffic we were able to get some strikes on our baits. The first mate "Blue" caught the first two fish and some nice fish he caught. We fished on a drift that took us almost two miles. It was busy with hits and fish along this great drift.


We called it a day and went back to the mooring a couple of happy sailing fishermen.
